Peter Arango lives in Carpinteria, California, just south of Santa Barbara. Surrounded by craftspeople since childhood, he has a profound appreciation of the work done by those who bring beautiful things into being. The photographs, quilts, pottery, furniture, and paintings that enrich his life are gifts given to him by people who have loved the work they have done. The Christmas Quilt is his way of thanking all those who continue to bring beauty and inspiration into his life.
